It was long since I borded a vehicle from Machakos country bus in Nairobi and I did not expect to do so any time soon because I always knew what goes on at the terminus. However I decided to take a chance hoping that things might have probably changed and also because i was financially strained. I therefore set my journey to Eldoret at around 11 am. However just before I reached the bus terminal, I exchanged bitter words with young and old men on the way who purported to be passangers aids.
These "aids" forcefully escort everyone they see carrying a luggage and heading towards country bus up to the main stage. On reaching the bus terminus, they demand any amount of money they want ranging from 100 to 200.
